JamHacks is a section of the site that will teach you how to add to or customize your Jammer Direct profile. This page will be constantly added to as new content an ideas arise.
Embedding Media in your Jammer Direct Profile.
Lets start off with embedding a media file into your profile. You can embed any type of known streamable media format into your Jammer profile but you should keep in mind what players are the most popular. You may have already noticed that this site prefers the Flash and Windows Media players as they are the most popular out there. There are also Quiktime and Real Media. This page will show you how to embed all of these players into your site.
Always use the Text/HTML module in your Jammer Direct profile to embed any of this code. Also, for best results, you should copy this code and paste it in notepad to edit before you paste it into your text/HTML module.
